Please advice. 2013 Air or i7 Pro non retina?

Please keep in mind due to my region, I might not be able to add any extra RAM or any custom stuff like this.

Retina is not an option because I don't feel the need for it, and it will be way too expensive when the next pro launches. Where I live they charge way too much over normal prices. Nutshell? I'm stuck between the two above.

If you're going to be remote and unable to upgrade, I would get the 2012 MBP. You get more memory, faster CPU, and more hard drive (though it will be significantly slower than the SSD). That alone will make it more future-proof than the MBA. And if you happen to be able to purchase an SSD, you can upgrade the HDD yourself and that will give it even more life.
